  • Small-Molecule Binding Sites to Explore New Targets in the Cancer Proteome
    Electronic Supplementary Material (ESI) for Molecular BioSystems. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2016 Small-molecule binding sites to explore new targets in the cancer proteome David Xu, Shadia I. Jalal, George W. Sledge Jr., and Samy O. Meroueh* Supplementary Text Druggable Binding Sites across all 10 Diseases. Using the previously established cutoffs, we identified genes that were overexpressed across multiple cancer types and featured druggable binding sites. We ranked these genes based on the total number of tumors that overexpressed the gene (Fig. S1). Using a simple PubMed query, we then counted the number of articles in which either the gene symbol or gene name was co-mentioned with the term ‘cancer’. Most of the most frequently occurring differentially-expressed genes correspond to proteins of well- established cancer targets. Among them are matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), including MMP1, MMP9, and MMP12, which are implicated in tumor invasion and metastasis (1). There are several protein kinases, including TTK, AURKA, AURKB, and PLK1, that are involved in cell signaling and well-established oncology targets (2). Some genes among this list that have not been extensively studied nor targeted in cancer. These include the serine/threonine kinase PKMYT1 (MYT1) is a regulator of G2/M transition in the cell cycle, but lacks focused small molecule inhibitors that specifically target the kinase. Recent efforts in developing small molecule inhibitors involve repurposing of available kinase inhibitors to specifically target the kinase (3). A subunit of the GINS complex GINS2 (PSF2) is involved in cell proliferation and survival in cancer cell lines (4,5).

  • Human Kinases Info Page
    Human Kinase Open Reading Frame Collecon Description: The Center for Cancer Systems Biology (Dana Farber Cancer Institute)- Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT Human Kinase ORF collection from Addgene consists of 559 distinct human kinases and kinase-related protein ORFs in pDONR-223 Gateway® Entry vectors. All clones are clonal isolates and have been end-read sequenced to confirm identity. Kinase ORFs were assembled from a number of sources; 56% were isolated as single cloned isolates from the ORFeome 5.1 collection (horfdb.dfci.harvard.edu); 31% were cloned from normal human tissue RNA (Ambion) by reverse transcription and subsequent PCR amplification adding Gateway® sequences; 11% were cloned into Entry vectors from templates provided by the Harvard Institute of Proteomics (HIP); 2% additional kinases were cloned into Entry vectors from templates obtained from collaborating laboratories. All ORFs are open (stop codons removed) except for 5 (MST1R, PTK7, JAK3, AXL, TIE1) which are closed (have stop codons). Detailed information can be found at: www.addgene.org/human_kinases Handling and Storage: Store glycerol stocks at -80oC and minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Mills3 & Shiaw-Yih Lin3 Homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiency predisposes to cancer development, but also sensitizes cancer cells to DNA damage-inducing therapeutics. Here we identify an HR defect (HRD) gene signature that can be used to functionally assess HR repair status without interrogating individual genetic alterations in cells. By using this HRD gene signature as a functional network analysis tool, we discover that simultaneous loss of two major tumour suppressors BRCA1 and PTEN extensively rewire the HR repair-deficient phenotype, which is found in cells with defects in either BRCA1 or PTEN alone. Moreover, the HRD gene signature serves as an effective drug discovery platform to identify agents targeting HR repair as potential chemo/radio sensitizers. More importantly, this HRD gene signature is able to predict clinical outcomes across multiple cancer lineages. Our findings, therefore, provide a molecular profile of HR repair to assess its status at a functional network level, which can provide both biological insights and have clinical implications in cancer. 1 Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention, Unit 1013, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA. 2 Department of Oncology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, The University of Huazhong Science & Technology, Wuhan, Hubei Province 430022, China.

Although conventional chemotherapy regimens have shown some effectiveness in early TNBC cases, the outcome in advanced stages is poor. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is one of the important and active pathways involved in chemoresistance and survival of TNBC. This pathway is speculated to play an important part in malignant transformation and has been considered as a potential molecular target for the design of therapeutic agents to treat TNBC. This review discusses the potentials and drug discovery perspectives of PI3K/AKT/mTOR as a therapeutic target for effective management of TNBC with anticipated challenges.

Electropherograms of libraries obtained after polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of 15 cycles from each sample in Procedure 1 (a), Procedure 2 (b) and Procedure 3 (c) before size selection. Lower (25 nucleotides (nt)) and upper (1500 nt) peaks indicate the ladder fragments of known length. Individual replicates (samples) are shown for each procedure. Fig. 2. Electropherograms of libraries obtained after size selection step (peak at 154 nucleotides (nt)). All eight libraries were pooled and deep sequencing was performed in a lane of an Illumina flow cell (Illumina). Lower (25 nt) and upper (1500 nt) peaks indicate the ladder fragments of known length. Table S1. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways obtained using DIANA miRPath v2.0 are reported up to P<0.0001.
